Education of the Next Generation of Marketers

Mail is a uniquely powerful tool for reaching consumers, especially in combination with other media channels—with direct mail accounting for nearly ten percent (Winterberry 2020 Forecast) of the nation’s total marketing spend.

Education of the next generation of marketers on the value of mail and omni-channel campaigns through outreach to and collaboration with colleges and educational organizations is a key initiative of the United States Postal Service.

Students will develop skills that enable them to integrate direct mail in an omnichannel campaign. Learn more: directeffectinnovation.com.
